Thoughts rolling around in my head...

I'm trying to get better at updating my blog.  

(I have so much catching up to do!)  

For now, an update on things in Colorado.  

We are still settling in. 

Tif and Lexi are both sick right now- 

thankfully Tif is on the mend 

and hopefully Lexi will be soon.  

As far as we know 

it's the first time she's ever been sick 

and she's not taking it very well.   

She's very congested 

so sleep isn't really happening for her. 

Last night I tried to sleep 

sitting up in bed while holding her

so neither of us slept very well. 

Poor little thing. 

She's pitiful.

In other news,  

Lila had her first "dance cwass" this afternoon

She loved it.

After dinner she played

her own version of cornhole 

until bedtime.  

She rocked it.   

Proof positive 

that we probably need to get out more!

 

I love how she's playing by the rules we set up for her 

using Lexi's cabbage patch doll

  as the line she had to stand behind.

 

 

 I've never had the pleasure of living by the mountains before.  

I totally get it now. 

I seriously doubt this will ever get old.

Yesterday it was so beautiful outside we didn't even need jackets. 

Snow on the ground and all. 

It's a little weird but awesome at the same time.

 

Lexi has been busy

refusing to eat baby food

pulling herself up from her tummy into a sitting position 

and learning to crawl. 

 Lila's just trying to get out of her way

Absolutely no idea what's going on here but 

this picture cracks me up

All in all, things are good. 

We have a meeting tomorrow 

with the assistant director of special education

to decide Lila's school placement. 

It looks like she will be headed to kindergarten

instead of preschool.   

We will take things one day at a time 

and see how things go. 

Last but not least

a very happy birthday

to my  silly son. 

 

 

Justin, you have brought so much joy into my life.  

So much adventure.  

You always keep me on my toes. 

I love your beautiful heart and 

the love that you have for others.  

Happy 24th birthday!  I love you!

Hugs from beautiful Colorado~
